good documentary isn't it

was weird to see how much of a pawn Gadhafi was and how
much things are beginning to resemble a William Gibson novel

Vladislav Surkov was a guy ive heard of before, his ideas
are probably behind the election of Trump,

i want to have his job. he's forever employed at the bbc, a
good job payed from british taxes

he can let his paranoia go wild and illustrate it by going
through archives of old clips from the bbc library

he then records talking to himself + puts his favourite afx
tracks under it

dreamjob right there

I feel the hypernormalization powerfully these days, the
let's put on a smiley face and act like everything is
business as usual. But with an edge of panic everywhere and
from everyone.

yeah I mean I think its a slight over simplification of the
issue, but its full of interesting stuff I didn't know about

with Gadhafi

It's a feeling of powerlessness, isn't it? One of Adam
Curtis's main themes in the last few documentaries is that
the political process has been neutralized, turned into mere
risk management and perception management. How do people
re-democratize and re-energize the political process?

yeah I think that's it, yeah perception management, after
bail out of 2008 I think lots of people realised how
hopelessly rigged it is

i watched it back in 2005, when i was a young media art
student, my son. its was important to me, so i want to share
it here. its mostly in english or subtitled

"Das Netz (English: The Net) is an independent film directed
by Lutz Dammbeck and subtitled The Unabomber, LSD and the
Internet. Das Netz premiered in 2003.

The film explores the ideas and histories of groundbreaking
artists Marshall McLuhan and Nam June Paik, hippie idealists
such as Timothy Leary and Ken Kesey, counterculturalists
such as John Brockman and Stewart Brand, cyberneticists such
as Robert William Taylor and Heinz von Foerster, and
neo-luddite Unabomber Ted Kaczynski."

It is very good, isn't it? Events are now so complex they're
beyond the buffoons in politics, who are there now just to
give an image of *somebody* being in control.

I really got goosebumps when he had Suicide's "Dream Baby,
Dream" playing over footage of the attacks on the Two
Towers, very powerful stuff.

It's unlikely but I'd have liked to have lived to see the
day when we wean ourselves off of oil and all the dogs the
Saudis trained go back and tear them to shreds.

yeah it is, seems like politics is a thin veneer to gloss
over the fact no one has absolute control, huge tidal like
forces of economics, fundamentalist beliefs and technology
are what drives the world, as someone else was saying,
perception management is what politics really is

"The world is impossibly complex and nothing can be achieved
through political leadership" is precisely the wrong message
to take from any of this. What has happened since the late
70s is a deliberate withdrawal of political power in the
expectation that the free market would deliver what people
wanted, while politicians were supposed to merely "manage
risk". Of course this hasn't happened.

Good time to re-watch All Watched Over By Machines of Loving Grace, which is about this
expectation of emergent order coming from simply giving up
the reins. What it's actually delivered us is feuding
aristocratic dynasties - House Trump, House Clinton, House
Saud, House Biden, House Bezos, House Putin, etc.

I just cant see how any politician can regain the reins of
power, if they don't comply with the predominant motive of
the age, i.e. profit they are out on their ear quickly

I like his idea, he has an altruistic outlook, I just worry
that power resides in the hands of people who would never
relinquish that power,

If it goes by all the past modern ones he’s going to go
and watch it, enjoy it, then slowly begin to hate it, until
he’s fully convinced, and content, that he hates it.

you can’t bother Wilco all you want, it doesn’t bother

yeah you used to do it with mohamed. I guess that’s how

I’d love to see you leech onto someone like Tony danza for
a bit. I wonder if you could get creative. Maybe your
targets aren’t diverse enough. They aren’t, in all
honesty. I’m the only « hippy » you parasited for a
bit.
